    Infundibular nucleus

    The infundibular nucleus is also called the arcuate nucleus due to its curved shape. It is located in the hypothalamus at the base of the third ventricle and regulates hormone release from the pituitary gland via releasing and inhibiting hormones. It is therefore also involved in regulating appetite, energy balance, and growth.
